MARIA AND THE CHILDREN:

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd

Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo

Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd

Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard

Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo

Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard

Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Oho layee odllee-oo

Oho layee odl ay!

Oho layee odllee-oo

Hododlleeoay!

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard

Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo

Men on a boat with a load to tote heard

Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Men in the mists of a chapel dote heard

Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard

Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo



[Cough cough!]



One little girl in a pale pink coat heard

Layee odl, layee odl-oo

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd

Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard

Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo

What a duet for a girl and goatherd

Layee odl, layee odl-oo



Hmm hmm hmm hmm
